I am delighted to welcome you to the Peterhouse School website on behalf of our dedicated team. As the Head of this remarkable school, I am proud to share our story and the exceptional educational opportunities we provide.
For over 50 years, Peterhouse has been providing specialist education to autistic young people, offering tailored support and a nurturing environment for our students. At the heart of our mission is the goal of supporting our students to become successful autistic adults. We are committed to empowering each individual to reach their full potential and thrive in the world beyond our school, preparing our students for fulfilling and independent lives.
Our curriculum is designed to encompass a ‘blended offer,’ ensuring that learning is relevant, bespoke, and the perfect vehicle for addressing the unique needs of each individual. This holistic approach ensures that our students not only excel academically but also develop the confidence, independence, and social skills necessary for successful life in the community.
At Peterhouse, we recognise that every child is unique, and we tailor our approach accordingly. At the centre of this approach is a strong emphasis on developing life skills. Throughout their educational journey, our students engage in practical, functional learning that empowers them to thrive both within school and in the wider community. We believe in the importance of generalising these essential skills, equipping our learners with the tools they need to confidently navigate the world around them.
I invite you to explore our website and discover the transformative impact of Peterhouse School. Our team is committed to providing an exceptional educational experience, and we welcome the opportunity to partner with you in supporting the growth and success of our students.
